Christmas Time

We spent a few days at my mom's for Christmas. Here are some highlights......

Snow!
Not a lot of it, (not even enough to rake together a snowman) but it was a blast!
Riding the quads! If you ask Pace about it, he'll complain that it was... "so cold and bumpy." It really was cold! We would usually wake in the morning to a frigid 6 degrees, and the warmest part of the day was about 35 degrees. Ouch!
I don't know what it is about a piano, but it's a baby magnet! Ryah, Cade, and Kyra love grandma's piano!
Christmas morning, yikes! We all wish we could look as good as Cade in the morning!
Cade's favorite present. He loves to be able to walk around, but can't quite do it without the help of furniture, walls, or someone. He was cruisin' everywhere and lovin' it!
Pace didn't have a favorite. He had two... his dinosaurs, and his train.
Eric had a favorite gift too.... Call of Duty, Modern Warfare! Ugh! It's my least favorite gift of his.
I was the one taking the pictures, but someone managed to sneak one of me too.
Brooke loved her video camera.
I don't think pants could have been Brian's favorite gift, but it was the only picture I had.
Carrie got an iphone!
Janae got a laptop!
Brandon got shirts with his new 'Avid Offroad' business logo!
And my sweet mama.... she wasn't feeling very well. Sorry for the lame picture mom, but I had to post a picture of you on here too!
The day after Christmas, Pace joined my mom on the sick wagon.

Thanks mom, for such a fun Christmas holiday in your home!

Three

We celebrated Pace's birthday tonight! I can't believe he's three!

Pace loves Lightning McQueen!

We all wore party glasses instead of party hats!

We played 'pin the tail on the donkey'. Noah got the closest of all the kids....

......but the adults had more fun!

We played 'Go Fish', one of Pace's favorite games.

Here come the cake and gifts......
Cooke dough ice cream cake! Yum!







We had a great time! Happy Birthday my sweet Pace!

Great Grandma

We made a trip out to my grandma's house tonight to take her a Christmas present. These are just a couple shots of our little one's with their great grandma Frost.
Noah, Ryah, Kyra, Cade, and Pace

Cade wasn't sure what to think.

I always feel so good when I make it out to see her, why don't I do it more? I love you grandma, and I'm so thankful for the wonderful son you raised (my dad)!

Saturday Fun

We had such a fun time out at Troy's house on Saturday. He has pretty much every animal you can think of, and lots of land to play around on. I took lots of pictures up until the time the horse stood on my foot! Here's some of the fun we had.......

Pace, riding a motorized four-wheeler.

Troy, teaching Pace how to ride a horse.

And then Pace rode alone! Honestly, I can't believe Pace wasn't afraid, because earlier that day, he screamed in terror at the sight of Santa Clause at our ward party! Santa must be scarier than a horse?

Even Cade enjoyed riding!

Brian and Brooke looking hot!

Ryah didn't enjoy being a cowgirl too much!

It's hard to pull Noah off the horses. He loves it!

Eric and I. Notice the smile on my face; it was just minutes before the horse planted his foot on mine!

Troy, showing off!

Thanks Troy for sharing your fun house (and animals) with us!!
